What happened

The Kremlin does not plan to send a separate invitation to the American delegation to the Eastern Economic Forum in the fall because each country decides on the trip independently, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with TASS.

Why it matters

"It's open to all delegations: the delegations make their own decisions," he said.

Common ground

Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) is headed by Rodney Mims Cook, chairman of the Commission on Fine Arts.
